'get off money' sounds meaningless. What do you want to tell concerned with money? 'Come out with your money'! as a slang?
In German language they have a slang like that: 'raus mit dem Geld' meaning take out the money to pay or (to) hand-over etc.
Why do you want to get it complicated, when you are yet in the early stages of your English?
Your sentence should be: 'Could I say to someone, ....?'
Simply tell him/her: 'please pay'. |

Volcano, I don't quite understand what it is you're wanting to say.
Are you looking for a phrase to indicate that they should give you the money now, or that they should take their product and leave?

Hello Skrej
I think I found it: "pony up" |

Yes, if you're asking them to give you the money, then 'pony up' would work.
Similar phrases would be 'cough it up', 'fork it over', 'hand it over', 'pay up', etc.

Funny, I thought this was a forum for learning English. Fluency in any language can be measured by use of idiomatic expressions, which includes the use of slang. There isn't a language spoken on Earth that doesn't use slang. Slang is one of the driving forces behind language evolution, a completely natural process.
As long as both the question and answer are clear about defining it as such, then there's absolutely no problem in asking for slang expressions.
